New York is about to see millions of dollars in economic activity leave their state due to the tyrannical gun laws, known as the NY SAFE Act, that were signed into law earlier this year. Kahr Arms has decided to pick up and leave Rockland County, New York and head across the border to Pennsylvania.

Kahr Arms specifically cites the unconstitutional SAFE Act as the reasons they are leaving.

The Times Union reports:

Business has been good for Rockland County-based Kahr Arms, so much so that it plans to expand with a new factory on more than 600 acres.

The trouble, at least for New York State: The gun manufacturer, currently based in Rockland County, is expanding across the border in Pennsylvania, and in the process will be moving its headquarters out of the Empire State. The reason, according to a corporate official, can be found in the swift passage last January of Gov. Andrew Cuomos SAFE gun control law.

It wasnt so much that the measure bans certain kinds of guns and magazines, the company said. Instead, it was the suddenness with which the law was passed  less than 24 hours after being released to the public  leaving Kahrs executives to wonder what kind of unforeseen regulations or restrictions might lie ahead.

One of our big concerns was, OK, the SAFE Act was passed in the middle of the night. You wake up the next morning and boom, that was it, said Frank Harris, Kahrs vice president of sales and marketing. We just felt like, gee, if they can do this, what can they do next?

Citizens, sheriffs and veterans have blasted the sweeping gun measure for good reason. It has also sparked the Armed Citizen Project to pursue going into New York in order to arm and train citizens with free shotguns. It looks like it might just take a small revolution in New York to put tyrants in their place.

Moving production facilities is not something to be undertaken lightly and I applaud companies like Kahr, Magpul, PTR, etc. that stand up for the constitutional rights of their customers. It’s up to us to encourage companies still building in totalitarian states to move to free ones.

now you’ve done it. YOU POSTED A PIC OF A .45. Darn , here I sit mindin’ my own business , pluggin’ away on FR and now I have to go to multiple gunsights, AND EAT UP ALL MY REMAINING “FREE TIME” LOOKING AT ALL THE FIREARMS I WISH I COULD AFFORD.
